Actress Natasha Lyonne humorously addressed her recent removal from a Delta flight, likening the experience to a performance art piece. The 47-year-old star was escorted off the plane in Los Angeles after appearing unresponsive to crew members, which she later attributed to taking sleep medication Lunesta before the flight. Lyonne also claimed she was briefly detained by ICE, a statement she made in a lighthearted tone during an interview with Page Six.
She clarified that she boarded the flight only with a backpack and sneakers, aiming for a nap before her scheduled appearance on 'The Drew Barrymore Show.' Despite the incident, Lyonne has successfully taken several flights afterward, demonstrating resilience and a positive outlook. The actress expressed gratitude for her recovery journey, mentioning her public relapse and emphasizing the importance of honesty and support.
Lyonne’s comments come amid her ongoing efforts to open up about her personal struggles, including her relapse after ten years of sobriety. She remains optimistic and has shared heartfelt thanks to her supporters and recovery communities. The incident, while bizarre, has not impacted her busy schedule, and she continues to make light of it, even joking about Pink’s rebellious spirit at a recent gala.
